the resort is conveniently located within 5 minutes drive from Nam Tok railway station, which is the last stop of the Thon-Buri to Nam Tok line of the historical Death Railway. It is also well situated near to the Hellfire Pass, which tells the history of the World War II as experienced by the POWs.
The resort is literally located next to River Kwai, and you just got to choose the river-facing room where you can just spend your time away with a good book or just relaxing and hearing the sound of the river from your room. We were so relaxed we even requested for room service, and food was delivered to our room. Wifi was strong, so it doesnt matter that there is no TV in the room.
Would like it if their breakfast has a better spread, as the breakfast pales in comparison with their room service offerings.

Luxurious raft retreat”

Very spacious and comfortable raft room. Wonderful little swimming pool in the river so you can swim in the Kwai. Good food in the restaurant. Staff helped us book a trip to Hellfire pass very easily. Lovely spot on the river, by its nature a bit out of the way so you would need to order taxis to go anywhere.

Location location location ”

You can forgive a lot of things for a location such as this, but at the boutique raft resort you don’t have to. The staff are friendly, helpful and speak good English. The accommodation is as per photos, the restaurant serves excellent Thai cuisine and there is an overal feel of tranquility here.
Only a couple of recommendations, quieter air con units and repairing the fly screens on the sliding doors would be nice.
Thank you all for a lovely experience, Sam and Dean, London - 23-1-18

In need of refurbishment”

This hotel is very old and very tired, the bathrooms are very poor and smell of urin. The tiles are cracked and so old fashioned it should have been refurbished at least 10 years ago. Bedroom is big but that is the only thing going for it. Old worn out furniture past its sell by date.
Food in restaurant was very below average, one of our party could not eat the Thai Pad it was that bad. At least the manager took the price of the meal off the bill.

Relaxing break away ”

A really nice resort along the river. The staff were standout in their helpfulness. Large swings and outdoor dart boards or hammocks or sitting on a bamboo pontoon trailing your feet in the river. We had the honeymoon suite which had its own little pool which was great. The river flowed through the pool giving it a variable current from morning to afternoon depending on whether the dam upstream is open ir not. Staff can help to organise tours/trips too such as cycling, kayaking, bamboo rafting.... they also helped us organise transport to Kanchanaburi to see the Bridge and museum (an hour south) and also Hellfire Pass (20mins north). I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Beautiful place to stay”

The staff were very helpful. We stayed in the room on the river and it was great. The condition of the wooden floors may need to be checked though. The restaurant had a good selection of food and it was cooked very well. You cant really walk anywhere from the hotel and need to pay for trips to get to the attractions. Overall a lovely hotel.

Unforgettable experience on a river raft resort”

We are so glad we stayed 2 nights on the resort as it was everything we had imagined it to be. We booked the
honeymoon suites which were lovely. Very spacious and well lit, water heater had consistent temperature. The weather was so cool we didn't have to use the aircon, the ceiling fan was sufficient. Loved the 2 hammocks so we didnt have to fight. Current is too strong so forget about swimming in the river. The private pool looked inviting but again too cold so all we did was soak our feet with the fishes. Staff were friendly and helpful and we borrowed the 2 free bikes and rode out to nearby supermarkets (3 of them on main road). Breakfast spread is decent with both Thai and Western choices but same stuff on our both days. Ala carte is so so though, especially the Thai food, actually thought the Western food were better. Do note there is no phone in the room so if you need anything you have to walk to the front desk. We tried the in-room massage too, pretty good. Would stay again.

The HIGHLIGHT of our trip! Loved our stay here!”

Beautiful place on the river, would recommend to all!
We were pleasantly surprised by what this place offered for the cost. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, and would DEFINITELY come back!
Staff was very helpful throughout our stay.
On site food was fantastic. We ended eating most our meals there.
Breakfast was great as well.
Staying ON the water was a very unique experience. We travelled with our 3 small children (5 total) and loved our stay. Doors to the water locked well, so it made us secure in staying there with the little ones.
The staff really made this stay what it was. They were so warm and friendly to our girls, even asking to hold our littlest during our meals there, giving us free hands to enjoy the food.
It is a 3-minute walk to a place that rents mopeds for 300 baht a day. This place connects to a maze of country roads, which we had a blast exploring.
If our travels bring us to Thailand again, we will definitely be back.
